How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?

The November 2023 update added “never combined” mode on the taskbar for Windows 11. To find this feature, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors. Set Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels to Never. It also added a separate setting for turning this feature on for other taskbars when you use multiple monitors.

I recently purchased a new laptop, fully kitted out with the best of the best. Unfortunately, it came with Windows 11, and the lack of ability to customize my taskbar (I need tabs instead of icons, and I need them not to combine), makes using my lightning quick laptop feel as clunky as my 12 year old PC.

Please, please, Microsoft... Enable these very basic taskbar features. Minimalist aesthetic doesn't work for most ordinary users.
